Correct! The sentence "They're all going to Oregon." is grammatically correct.
To determine the correct sentence, let's break down the options:
A) "Their all going to Oregon." - This option is incorrect because "Their" indicates possession, not the contraction of "they are." The correct contraction would be "They're."
B) "There all going to Oregon." - This option is also incorrect because "There" refers to a location, not the contraction of "they are." The correct contraction would be "They're."
C) "They're all going to Oregon." - This option is correct because "They're" is the contraction of "they are," and it properly indicates that a group of people is going to Oregon.
Remember, when choosing between "their," "there," and "they're," it's helpful to understand their different meanings:
- "Their" is a possessive pronoun, indicating ownership.
- "There" is often used to refer to a location or to introduce a sentence.
- "They're" is the contraction of "they are."
So, in this case, "They're all going to Oregon." is the correct sentence. Well done!
